: For several weeks I have tried to come up with a way to build my GF a new
: kayak more suitable for rolling and skills. First a kit, then a strip,
: back to a kit, almost pulled the trigger on a Cirrus LT.

: Several realities set in and I know I do not have the time for a strip nor
: the cash for a S&G kit and have arrived at a Yost Sea Rider. I already
: have some of the material, all of the tools, and space will be an issue
: for only a short time. First go I don't want to go through bending ribs so
: I think the Yost style will work for me.

: Who has built a Sea Rider? What are the characteristics of this kayak? - How
: does it track, turn, roll, speed. Time is only an issue if I have to keep
: everything stationary from day one due to the possibility of a warehouse
: change up.

: Thanks,

: Dan

I'd email Tom Yost, he's always been very helpful in the past.
